THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Learn what my process is and hear what some of my clients have to say about their experience!
STEP 01
Fill out my form
Thank you so much for your interest! Reach out to me via the contact form and tell me all about your session details and vision!
STEP 02
Let's book it!
Prior to your session, we’ll plan location, timing, and overall feel together. I offer guidance on styling and location selection so you don’t feel left to figure everything out on your own. This preparation allows sessions to feel relaxed and intentional from the start.
Once we confirm a time and date, we'll sign a contract and secure your spot with a retainer.
STEP 03
Let's create!
We'll meet and create some magic! From this point on, it's all about enjoying the moment.
STEP 04
Delivering photos
Within 72 hours, you'll receive a handful of sneak peaks.
Then your curated gallery will be available for download or printing within 3-4 weeks! My editing style is natural and timeless, focused on preserving tone, texture, and emotion rather than heavy trends.
STEP 05
Finish the experience!
These memories deserve a lasting place, on your wall or in a book! Not just in your phone's album.
Many clients choose to order prints directly through their gallery, knowing they’re printed through professional labs with archival quality and crafted to last. Just select some of your favorites, and I can help you design a personalized album or framed artwork.
FAQ
Where are you located?
I live in Lemont, IL. I travel to Chicago and all the surrounding suburbs!
Do you use a studio?
I do not use my own studio, but I can recommend many beautiful locations for your session with natural lighting. A studio can be rented if you did not wish for an in-home session.
How will my photos be delivered?
I will deliver your gallery online through Pixieset. You have unlimited, high-resolution downloads, and can share these password-protected galleries with family and friends.
There is a store option that allows you to purchase physical prints directly through me, so these timeless photographs don't have to live only in your iPhone gallery :)
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
Anything over 30 miles will have a travel fee, which is calculated based off the total distance. Any additional fees, including photography permits for locations and parking fees will be included in your quote!
What if I had a session in mind that is different from what you offer?
Please contact me for custom pricing! I love to photograph anything that is important to you!

"THE RESULTS ARE SO AMAZING IT ACTUALLY MADE ME EMOTIONAL!!"
"If you want to capture beautiful, natural moments for any occasion you need to book her! The session was easy and fun and Jacqueline is just such a sweet person to be around and chat with! She captured pictures of moments I didn’t even know she was shooting!
My favorite part was how casual and stress free the actual session was. I was so nervous about how the babies would show up…with so many variables with toddlers (iykyk)…but Jacqueline made it such a relaxed environment that the session went by so fast! All we had to do was play and talk and laugh around our house with our kids. So so happy we have these pictures!!"
